DSCC Communications Director Justin Barasky released the following statement on Florida Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera’s candidacy for the Republican nomination:
“Carlos Lopez-Cantera is a career politician who doesn’t do his job and routinely stands with special interests instead of Florida families. With his entrance into the race, Republicans in Florida and Washington are forced to endure a primary battle that promises to be ugly, divisive and damaging to their already tenuous hold on this seat. Democrats have a strong candidate in Patrick Murphy who is running a great campaign, and we are confident that we will flip this seat to Democratic control in 2016.”
